Tyr

In ages past dragons were the life blood of Gurn, through them magic flowed into the world and all races flourished, however dragons always kept the "lesser" races in check, only giving them enough power to do the biddings of dragonkind as minions in the plots and schemes between the many dragon cults, groups and clans, never allowing them to reach their full potential.   That is, until Tyrazon came. A human born a nobel and taught by the mightiest of the human race using astral speech to commune with the dead and learn from even them he was able to become even more powerful than a full elder dragon and intended to teach the lesser races how to break their own bonds and elevate. However the Dragon Council of Nine could not allow this and while some were reluctant they brought their true power united against Tyrazon and imprisoned him in the core of the world, locked away for all eternity, alone and with no chance to escape.   The keys to Tyrazons prison were taken and given to 8 Princes, those minions who stood with the dragons against Tyrazon and assisted in betraying him. These keys held vast power but did not grant everlasting life and so over time new princes were chosen, by power corrupts and eventually the keys were hidden, lost or gathered by other forces.   Ages came and went, all knowledge of Tyrazon or what he stood for wiped from existence, and the dragons continues to mettle, war, plot and scheme against one another, always looking to gather more power for themselves until a unlikely thing happened. A key from Tyrazons prison fell into the hands of a truly good person, her name lost to time she was able to use its power to find a connection to Tyrazon within his prison and eventually cracked the seal upon it ever so slightly. It is not known what happened to her but Tyrazon was able to slowly flow bits of power from the prison into the world of Gurn through Power Nodes that flow deep within the crust.   One such power node was below a town called Vypool. While nothing special to look at the residents of Vypool seemed to learn things faster, become stronger and generally became heroes while living there as if something about the place pushed them forward to be special.   The heroes of Vypool over time communicated and began helping Tryazon, eventually defeating the 8 princes and gathering the 8 keys to his prison and against all odds they freed him.   By removed the veil of untruth the dragons had placed upon the world Tyrazon brought together the strongest, smartest and bravest people of each lesser races and freed their minds. Doing this allowed them to teach their brethern and thus while the dragons bickered and fought about what to do about Tyrazon getting free the lesser races were able to assemble a great army of amazing strength, possibly enough to stand again all of dragon kind.   War raged across the land for 10 years with neither side gaining true advantage. The power hungry, weak willed or stupidly loyal stood with the dragons. Tyrazon and his generals had more numbers by the dragons still controlled nearly all the power nodes of the world, and thus could tap nearly endless power to fuel their armies and themselves.   What happened at the last battle is mostly unknown, with only a few survivors, many of which had lost their minds, what we do know is that Tyrazon came out on top, with dragon kind all but extinct after the battle.   This also though did not come without a price. Unknown to anyone, even the strongest generals who stood side by side with Tyrazon at the battle, Tyrazon did not win unscathed. His mind was torn, the ages alone locked in the prison had been pushed aside while he had a true goal ahead of him but now that he had freed the lesser races and defeated dragonkind the power lay at his feet and that broken mind could not resist. Gathering nearly all the energy from the fallen Tyrazon reforged himself into a beacon of pure energy cracking the surface of the planet in the process.   Millions died. Great natural disasters raged across the world as Tyrazon fed on the power. None of his friends, allys or even the heroes of Vypool were capable of stopping the power surge. When after a year the rage upon the planet finally ended a all powerful Tyrazon arose in joy only to find he was a mass murderer.   His fragile mind could not take it.   Tyrazon broke.   He then used all his power in another way... he tried to reforge the world and bring back all that he had destroyed. But the corruption of power now held him, his warped mind become even more chaotic and confused, the world he forged, Tyr, was nothing like what he wanted, it is like a twisted dream of what should be a wonderful place. Most of the people of Tyr are mindless, doing tasks and living lives without meaning unable to learn new skills or become stronger as all the power that once flowed to the people, creatures and even fauna of the world now nearly all flows to Tyrazon as he sits within his fortress siphoning energy.   A few have found ways out of the cycle of Tyrazon, forging cities, communities, groups and other things and are able to use other means to learn and develop, but they are few and fair between. Most people live not knowing they could be more.   Which brings us to you. You have been brought here, to Vypool the town of heroes because for some reason you are not influenced by Tyrazon's dominance and you do not ally yourself with those who run his government in his name, siphoning what power they can to dominate and control the world.   Thus by bringing you here I truly lift the veil and open your eyes to see the world as it truly is thus giving you the opportunity to join with the Heroes of Vypool and together work to free the world from the oppression of a corrupt and twisted mind.
